Digital Map Information

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer
André Belloguet (1830 - 1873, c. 188x) was a French artist, caricaturist, and lithographer. Belloguet created numerous political cartoons and satirical maps of France and Europe over the course of his career and collaborated with numerous French magazines. Many featured caricatures with incredible expressions, facial structures, and distinctive hats. Belloguet created a large corpus of work during the Franco-Prussian War, the siege of Paris, and the Paris Commune (1870 - 1871) and examples of some of these works can be found in the poster collection of the Département des Hauts-de-Seine in France. A list of forty works published during this era is included in Maurice Quentin-Bauchart's La caricature politique en France pendant la guerre, le siège de Paris et la Commune published in 1890. Most references for Belloguet cite his death date as 1873. However, Roderick Barron's 2008 article Bringing the map to life: European satirical maps 1845 - 1945 states that Belloguet fled Paris after the Paris Commune in 1871 and settled in Brussels, where he worked for the magazine Le Lutin. Also according to Barron Belloguet published at least one satirical map in Brussels that used animals as personifications for European nations entitled L'Europe Animale, Physiologie Comique in 1882.
